manual abstract
The waveform data from the start point to the end point of the source sample is read from the end to the beginning, and the a sample created from this data is assigned to a different pad. Making a Reversed Sample 1. Press EDIT [SAMPLE/BANK], 2. Press [ ] or [ ] to select “Create Reversal?" and press [ENTER/YES]. 3. Check “Source” (the source sample) is selected. 4. Either press a pad or rotate the VALUE/TIME dial to select the numbers of the source pad bank and source sample. 5. Select “To” (the source sample), and press a pad or rotate the VALUE/TIME dial to select the numbers of the destination pad bank and sample. 6. Press [ENTER/YES]. Create Reversal is executed. 7. Press [PLAY] to return to the basic screens. 8. Press the destination pad to confirm the results. < NOTE J If the destination pad already contains a sample, the message "Overwrite OK?" appears in the display. If it is all right to delete the existing sample, then press [ENTER/YES]. If not, press [EXIT/NO] to cancel the procedure. t note j The settings of Pad Play or Loop in the new created sample will be the same as the source sample's one. However, the loop point setting is ignored. Undoing the Immediately Preceding Operation (Undo) The status of the processing and editing functions introduced in this chapter can be restored after the processes are executed, but before another operation is performed. This feature is known as "undo." If immediately after executing a step that step can be undone, the [UNDO/REDO] button is illuminated. If [UNDO/REDO] is pressed, the most recently performed processing or editing of the sample is undone. tMEMQJ If after pressing [UNDO/REDO] you find that you didn't really want to undo the last step, press [UNDO/REDO] once more to cancel the undo (redo). (SEE Settings parameters called up when "Set Sample Param?" is selected from the menu that appears when EDIT [SAM-PLE/BANKJ is pressed cannot be undone. (This is also the case for those parameters called up by Quick Edit [TRIM] or [LEVEL].) [UNDO/REDO] flashes when a step can be undone. Chapter 5 Arranging Samples (Phrases) to Create Songs When the pad samples (phrases and sound effects) are sounded in a sequential order, they can be made into songs. Sounds that are arranged sequentially this way are called songs. Songs are created using a variety of methods as explained in this and following chapter. CH5B3 To save the songs you create, and the data they contain to disks, be sure to run the Save procedure before turning off the power. I note I Mixer settings, effect patches, and other data are also saved along with the song. I NOTE. I When creating a song by arranging samples that are recorded to the pads, the sounds comprising the song and the original samples do not effect each other directly. For example, if the sounds on the pad samples used as source material for a song are deleted, those sounds, once saved as a song, are not lost. What are Tracks? Just as do commercial MTRs (multitrack tape/disk recorders), the SP-808 features tracks on which sounds can be arranged, recorded, and played back in sequential order. Tracks are like lanes on a road. In general take a tape-based four-track recorder for example, you can play four monaural sounds simultaneously. The SP-808 features four stereo tracks, allowing you to play four stereo (or monaural, if desired) sounds simultaneously. You can freely edit (p. 82, 87), add effects (p. 27, 93), and bounce (p. 79) the sounds on the tracks, making the remixing process very easy. (MB You cannot layer multiple sounds or play two different sounds on the same track (regardless of whether stereo or monaural). Furthermore, when you want to press a pad during playback of a song to play its sound, first you must mute at least one track (pressing [STATUS] for that track, turning off its indicator) to stay within the maximum polyphony. LtBHEJ Sounds on the tracks may include "SFX", narration or other sounds besides musical phrases. However, in order to distinguish them from sounds on the pads (called samples), the sounds on the tracks are referred to as phrases. The Concept of Measures, Beats, and Ticks Some digital recording devices for producing music track, control song location by hours/minutes/seconds /frames like professional video instruments (one frame being 1/30 to 1/24 of a second in length). However, the SP-808 uses the measure (MEAS), beat (BEAT), and tick (TICK) as the units of its basic system for measuring the current location in a song (the tick, 1/96 of a beat, is the smallest unit in a song on the SP-808). Thus, songs on the SP-808 are based on the concept of tempo, and in changing the tempos of songs containing multiple phrases, the intervals between the beginning of one phrase and the beginning of the next are lengthened and shortened. The overall tempo a song is changed in the "BPM TUNE" screen (hold down [SHIFT] and press [VARI PITCH]). Tempo change information can also be written to...
